If you go a 3788 you'll have even more headroom... but then again a 4202 would be future proof :P

well.. if that's the case might as well drop in a LSX and run 2x of those turbos :)

Done!

Thanks for all of the replies.

I see the Hypergear stuff is strongly suggested.

i'm looking at this: http://www.hypergearturbos.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=57

ATR43 400~600HP T3x Internally gated turbocharger

Would I need to send my turbo in to Hypergear or is this a whole new turbo? (can i part-exchange my turbo? Else I got no use for it)

It is almost direct bolt on.  You will need oil and water lines.  Tao can supply those with the turbo, or you can look at eBay....but easier for you getting them from Tao.  The dump should match Nissan pattern.  The inlet needs modification.  You can't use the skinny rubber Nissan shit.  You need to fab up a steel or alloy 4" inlet that will also accept the AFM and your BOV return, etc.

you dont need water or oil lines with the 43 and 45 atr's. it just makes it a little easier to install with them.

There is a bit of custom involved, as gts said. But nothing serious or hard. And depends how neat you want it... Get some more pipe, a 90deg bend and some random silicone joiners and you should find a nice combo.


Get BB If you want better spool. I'm all in at around 3500 with journal with the atr43g3sat.

 

Install process:
FYI: You need around 60mm studs, not 40mm. Also there are easier ways to do the install than shown below.

I'm holding off on the turbo for now. 

A buddy may be able to get me a NEO motor complete with turbos.

Would that just be a simple matter of removing the existing RB25DET and replacing it with the NEO? Is the wiring harness the same?

Luckily I wont be doing the work. Will send it to my buddy's shop but I will help so I can learn at the same time.

No, the wiring is not the same.  There are differences at various sensors.  The Neo has a boost sensor for the ECU that the vanilla 25 doesn't.  You need the R34 loom and the R34 ECU.

it will probably be easier for me to get an aftermarket ecu. 

these cars are rare in south africa. especially the r34

if i do find one however I will get it

Edited by Die$eL

ok so my buddy just called. 

He is able to get me a complete NEO motor with auto box, ecu and harness

would it then just be a matter of me replacing my engine, ecu and harness (not gearbox).

Is the ecu for the automatic cars "linked" to the gearbox in any way? Or would it just be a matter or fitting a resistor for the shift solenoid?

The R34 TCU is in the ECU.  And that's fine, because it doesn't matter - it will run a manual trans engine happily.  You're going manual right?  Because if you're not, punch yourself in the face and start again.

If you use the R34 ECU you WILL want to get Nistune installed in it, because you will want to kill the error codes caused by not having the right ABS and TCS systems installed in the car. And you WILL want to tune it.  All of which, happily, Nistune enables for you.

Assuming you go Nistune with the R34 auto ECU, which is the smartest option for what you want,  You can turn all the auto specific flags, so the ECU no longer looks for it, therefor you won't see any CEL codes.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
